My Dad Died August 7, 1992. I really miss Pop. He was a very good father. I am his Baby girl I have 2 sisters older than me and a Brother he also the oldest. Pop was a very health man until 4 years before he die. He died of Stomach Cancer. I was there in the room when he pass away. My mother died December 25. 1979. I still have troble at times went Holidays and birhtdays. I miss Pop but I smile went I think of somethings he said or do. Pop is well known he know a lot people. since he left us I lost a Brother and a Sister. Yes it does get lonely there are time I want to call him up and let him know what going on but I forget that he in heaven. I had a dream the other day about Pop it seem that we all at the house together. I guest he letting me know he ok.

My dad was a WWII vet and married late late in life. He was almost 50 when I was born. He was born in 1913 and from what I could pry out of him, before the war he panned for gold ,rode trains from place to place, and made a living anyway he could. His passion was fishing. I was the youngest of his three children and hung out with him the most. He and I accepted Jesus together and were baptized the same day. My oldest son and my Dad died within a span of a month.My dad will be in my heart till the end.

my dad was murdered while on duty 12 August 2009, i miss him sooooo. i will never forget that nite, my son didnt want him to leave after he had supper, he even put the blue lights on (Rayyan(7month old) loved this) i thought id see him before his shift ended he was a cop. an hour later i recieved a call from my sister telling me to hurry" dads bleeding" I rushed still assumed his alive when got to my sisters house he was sitting in his patrol car motionless how could someone be so cruel. my dad worked for the traffic dept for 30yrs. he was planning on retiring earlier in this year but loved his job so much thought he would get bored. He was well known and was like a teddybear, looks scary but wouldnt hurt a fly.
I hate this living without him, he was my nr 1; even my huby would say so. When i got married last year i cried every day for the first 8 months cause i missed him.
I eventually got use to not seeing him everyday. NOW i must get use to not seeing him ever.
Dont think i will ever get over it.
i had a dream about him last nite when i awoke i could smell him( am i going crazy)
I never cried until a few days ago. Cant believe someone would wanna hurt him.
sometimes i smile and laugh thinking of what he would say or do.
It's been 2 months almost and they havent caught the murderer.
He was the best dad ever, i was the baby thats prob why he would visit everyday or vice versa.
i love you i love you, dont think i said it enuf.
i miss you daddy

I lost my Father on Feb 25, 1999. Even tho it has been 10 years, it still feels like yesterday.. He never was sick a day in his life. Then one day he started to complain of back pain. He went for tests, but no one found anything. when they did, it was too late for him.(they found cancer in May of 1998 and in Feb of 1999 he passed away) He had pancreatic cancer. But he worked up til 2 months before he died. He never let the cancer get him down. He was a good man. I remember the last Christmas we had together, he stayed over at my sister's home, my Mom and I had to go back home cause I worked 5:30am shift. After work we stopped back over to pick him up. Well, since I didn't get any sleep that nite, it was agreed that I would get some sleep. Well I went to the room where my Dad was, and he told me, I don't have long.. (They wanted to put a feeding tube in him cause he couldn't eat) I told him, he would be ok, that nothing would happen to him. I knew, but I didn't want him to feel worse. Then as i got into bed, he did something he never did before.. He helped me take my shoes off, tucked me in bed, and kissed me on the forehead. (My Dad wasn't an affectionate man, thats why that touched me) He died 2 months later. I still miss him to this day. Now my Mom died this year, and I never realized how hard this could be. Especially with the holidays coming. Its going to be hard without them.. My Dad was a good man, he worked 2 jobs to provide for his family. My parents made sure we had the best of everything.. I could go to him for anything. He would listen to my problems, help me the best way he could.
2 weeks after we buried him, I dreamt of my Dad. I was talking to him, and all he told me he was sorry, I told him it was ok, but he didn't listen to me. I was sobbing so hard it woke me up. I guess you never realize what you have til its gone. But what makes me feel better is that my parents are together again.. I think my Dad took a part of Mom with him, when he died. She never was the same. I miss you, Dad. Take care of Mom and Merry Christmas.
Love, Mary
